    Description

      Accessibility rules require that italics text use the <em> tag. Currently the italics atto plugin uses the <i> tag if the browser forces it. Change the plugin to ensure only the <em> tag is used. This code was migrated from the Brickfield Education Labs Editor accessibility efforts.
